Dakota Has Been Divided.

Specldl TO the GlODe.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-"Dakota has
been divided already" says an ex-mem-
Der of congress from Northwestern
state. ''She was divided many years
before the Campbells, Moodys, Mel
letteS and other aSpirantS for statehood
hOnorS were out of their political swad-
ding clothes. Division is nothing new"
'sWhen was Dakota divided, as you
indicator
81 remember when all the country
northwest of the Ohio river was called
the Northwest territory l can we'll
remember when Michigan territory in
cluded all known and unknown country
beyond Toledo and Detroit. Under the
administration of President jackson
Wisconsin territory was divided off
from Michigan territory. That was
partitioning of Dakota, in embryo-di-
viding her Off from Michigan territory.
Then Iowa territory was sliced out of
the Northwest territory, and next Min
nesota territory was divided off, each
division bringing Dakota under other
auspices and bringing her nearer civil
cation at the same time. Then, at last,
the territory of Dakota was made, and
other territories cut off and bounded.
Idaho was a great Ell Dorado and gold
was to be found out there by the hand
full; but it is still waiting to be found.
In those days people went by Dakota,
paying no attention to her. She
amounted to nothing"

Railroad Shops Burned.

YANKToN, OAK, Sept. 9.-The work,
shops, store rooms, machinery and other
property of the Milwaukee road at this,
city, were destroyed by fire last night,
with total loss of all their shops and
yard property, except the round house.
The fire occurred at about II O'Clock at
night and is supposed to have caught
from sparks from an engine being
cleaned. Two locomotives in the shops
were damaged to the extent of about
$1,000, and the total loss is estimated by
the master mechanic at $4,000. The
property was insured, but it is not
known to what extent. Notwithstanding
the destruction of the shops and disab-
ling of the locomotives all trains are
running on time to-day The shops were
beyond the water limits, and, though
promptly on hand, the firemen could do
but little, the buildings being of wood.

breath of suspicion or distrust. His

lofty character, J. NJ. Tuohy was s'lOyed

CHAMBERLAIN, Sept. 9.-There will
be an election here this fall for one
county commissioner, but politics will
not enter into the fight to any great ex-
tent. For years there has been hard
pull for the county seat between Cham
berlain, which now has it, and. Kimball,
in the east part of the county, whose in
habitantS have olong had their eyes
on it. The Chamberlain people
want to elect man for commits
SiOner who will stand by them,
while the KimbaIl people would rather
see man elected whose interests lie
toward the eastern part of the county.
AS yet there are no active candidates.
Brule county will also vote ON local OPP
ton this fall. 1t is hard to tell just now
what the result will be or which side
will be victorious. The Prohibit
tionists are organizing and intend
to carry the war into every township
in the county. Mrs. III. M. Barker, the
president of the territorial Women's
Christian Temperance union, who
resides here, is the leading spirit. CIR.
Owen, of the Chamberlain Register, and
Thorndyke, of the Kimball Index, are
her journalistic assistants, while Mr..
barrow and Miss Richards, of Puk-
wanna; Scott Hays and Judge Morrow,
of Chamberlain. and many others are
aiding the cause. The anti-PrOhibition-
lists have no organization as yet, and no
one has come forward to assume the
leadership, Those who pretend to
know say that the fight will be a close
one, as the southeastern part of the
county is largely settled by BOhemians,
who, as rule, will oppose prohibition.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Dakota is to

of leaving his editorial position, in an

to Washington to establish territorial
Register. His idea seems to be to man
age paper here which shall devote its
entire attention to news which will in
terest the territory, and of a nature
which is not usually sent out to the
daily papers. He also believes that he
can be of valuable service to certain
portions of the territory in the matter
OF influencing national legislation.
He says that he believes that
he can get larger weekly subscription
list than he now has in his county and
more advertising. He expects to get
the advertisements of claim agents,
attorneys, hotels and large Eastern
wholesale business houses. He has
good opportunity to sell his interest in
his county paper to advantage, and,
with the cash thus received. he will
make an investment in this city. He
probably does not know that Washing

there are tOmbStOneS. and epitaphS of
